Hi all, Thanks for all of your active response about our survey. From the web survey, we have collected about 53 responses, and almost half of engineer are still using 32bit host system for Tizen development, and some people have given more details reason why they are still using 32bit system, thank you!
So, Our final decision is 32bit system will still be supported by our tools (gbs/mic). For qemu issue, we will spend more resource to root cause it and fixed, Jan-Simon Möller is working on this with us to try to fix, thank you very much, and thanks all of you to discuss this topic, which practice the spirit of open source well.

Currently, platform development tools(gbs/mic) support 32bit/64bit on the following 9 distributions: * Ubuntu 13.04 * Ubuntu 12.10 * Ubuntu 12.04 * openSUSE 12.3 * openSUSE 12.2 * openSUSE 12.1 * Fedora 19 * Fedora 18 * CentOS 6 32bit qemu does not works well while building special packages, such as eglibc. Besides this, the maintenance and testing for each platform is a very time consuming work, so if we drop the possible seldom used 32bit platforms' support, the update of tools will be much more agile. As Tizen will support 64bit build in the future, which can only be built by using 64bit system, so it's recommended to switch to 64bit system ASAP. Now we will do the survey before our final decision. Survey page: http://fluidsurveys.com/surveys/xiaoqiang/tizen-platform-development-tools-survey/ We will collect the survey and send out it, which is the basis for our decision to dropping 32bit Linux support Thanks Qiang
